It stains, doesn’t it?

It stings, certainly. It stains clothes as well. It’s just that there’s other thing’s available that come in tubes rather than bottles.

There’s no medicinal value in dock leaves, the relief comes from the rubbing.

See also, erections.

So I’m led to believe…

TCP and Iodine were my childhood memories. Any cut or scrape was treated with them.

Kaoline and Morphine for upset tummy.

Calomine Lotion for sunburn treatment and treatment of Chicken Pox blisters too.

I still swear by TCP and Iodine although I don't use Iodine as it stings too much :o)

Removed due to other posts getting made so my 'joke' didn't make sense!

Iodine is no longer recommended for cuts because of the tissue damage it causes

Not a remedy as such, but my gran used to give my cousins raw sausages to suck to shut them up when they were toddlers. I'm not sure whether she cooked them later. Probably, knowing her.

Also, most of the suggestions above are from he last few decades. I wonder what ridiculous things we are doing these days that people on Future STW will laugh at in 2053?
